Times listed by ls.

Hi:

From find man page:

Quote:

-daystart
measure times (for -amin, -atime, -cmin, -ctime, -mmin, and
-mtime) from the beginning of today rather than from 24 hours
ago. This option only affects tests which appear later on the
command line.

From ls man page:

Quote:

--time=WORD
with -l, show time as WORD instead of modification time: atime
-u, access -u, use -u, ctime -c, or status -c; use specified
time as sort key if --sort=time

How many times are there associated with a file and what are they? Thanks in advance.

last a)ccessed
when c)reated
last m)odified

That's actually wrong. Linux doesn't have a concept of
creation time; c stands for "change", and refers to the
time something happened to the file on inode level.

Cheers,
